Don't Leave Me

Chapter twenty five

Felix pov

It's so hard to forget what almost happened this morning. I can't forget about it. We were so close to kissing until the bell had to mess it up. Now Marzia has a new friend and I'm pretty sure this guy likes her. She might even like him back.

M-"I'll be right back Ima get lunch. Diazo come with me."

D-"Ok." They both get up and leave and Julien turns to me.

J-"Hey dude ok so I have a huge crush on Marzia and I don't know if she likes me or not. And I was thinking since you guys are best friends...can you find out if she likes me back?"

Now at this moment I would fuck it up and say she hates him but I know Marzia likes this guy. I mean like she even dressed up for him.

F-"Uh. Sure thing buddy. I'll ask her."

J-"Awe great. Can you ask her today and tell me tomorrow morning what she said?"

F-"I'll try."

J-"Thanks man." He pats my back and I already feel regret. I really don't want to find out if Marzia likes this guy. Maybe I can change her mind. 'No Felix you already fucked up her first relationship in 6th grade. Don't do it agin.' Marzia comes back sits down and we're all quiet.

M-"Is everything okay? You guys are awfully quiet."

F&J-"EVERYTHING IS FINE." She just looks at us wired

M-"Ookay?"

~in the car~

The whole car ride back I've been thinking about what I should say to Marzia. Should I talk about the kiss first or she I ask her if she likes Julien. I have no idea what to do. I pull up the driveway and we enter the house. We see containers on a counter with a note.

Welcome home,
Felix: You father and I will be gone for a week for a business trip. I left some food that will last for three days. I also left a couple of money just in case you guys want to order take out. I also bought groceries in case Marzia wants to cook because I know she love to.

Marzia: Your parents won't be back for another week or two. They told me they are still in Italy and taking care of you grandmother.

You guys better behave and don't be rebel teens. I love you both and text me or call me for any emergencies.

Love,
Mom

M-"Well I better start heating up the food." She puts her backpack on the couch and starts opening the containers.

F-"Uh Marzia?"

M-"Yeah?" 'Man should I really ask her now or at dinner? I'll ask her at dinner.'

F-"Um...need help?"

M-"It's just heating up food, but you can set the table."

F-"Ok."

~15 minutes into dinner~

F-"ok I'm jut gonna say it."

M-"what?"

F-"Do you have feelings for Julien?"

M-"What?"

F-"Do you or not? Do you like Julien?"

M-"Why are you asking me this? That is none of your concern."

F-"Just tell me I need to know."

M-"Why?"

F-"I just need to ok. I can't say why.

M-"Oh I get it. You want to talk about what almost happen this morning."

F-"Well no and yes."

M-"What do you mean?"

F-"I mean no cuz I just need to know if you like him or not and yes I kind of want to talk about it."

M-"Once again that is one of your concern." She gets up and picks up her plate. I go after her her.

F-"No Marzia I'm serious. Please." She places her plate in the sink. And I turn her around and we are really close. "Seriously Marzia I need to know for many reasons."

M-"w-why do y-you want t-to know?" We are so close to each other that I can feel her breath.

F-"I can't tell you why." She stares at me with her beautiful brown eyes. Slowly I didn't know what I was doing I start closing the gap between us. I feel our lips touching until...

~knock knock~

'Seriously?! Every time?! Who the fuck is it?!'
Marzia just stares at me and again another knock but harder.

F-"I-I'll get it." I walk away slowly towards the door still looking at Marzia. I see that she turned red. And she tries covering her face. I turn around and I open the door...
